'Leandros' weather front bringing more snow, sleet and rain to GreeceMaintaining low temperatures across the country

Low barometric pressure will arrive from the west on Sunday night, in the third phase of the weather phenomenon "Leandros" that brought rain, snow and very low temperatures to Greece over the weekend, according to the National Observatory of Athens' Meteo service, ΑΝΑ

Dense snow is expected in central and southern Greece as far south as the mountains of Crete island, while southern islands and coastal areas should expect torrential rain

Temperatures will stay low, while winds in the south Aegean might reach gale-force strength at 8 on the Beaufort scale, even rising to strong gale at 9, locally. In Macedonia, temperatures are expected to range between -11C up to -3C, and in Central Greece between 2C and 7C. Crete will reach a maximum of 12C.

Attica should expect to see snow in the mountains and north of the prefecture, with rain or sleet in other areas. Wind velocity will range between 2 and 5 on the Beaufort scale and temperatures will range between 2C and 6C.
